To Know God is to Know Love

I have often times just been amazed at the level and amount of love that all of the participants have for others. Although they each experience limitations of some sort, they seem to more often times than not, function and move about in this thing called life much more freely than the rest of us. And in the book The Shack, I just read a part that said, "humans are not defined by their limitations, but by the intentions that I have for them; not by what they seem to be, but by everything it means to be created in my image". What a beautiful statement that is. All humans have limitations at some level, and thank God it is not the limitations that define us. What defines us is the reality that we have been created in the image of God, and what is important is what He has planned for us. I guess if we were all to truly recognize that it is not about our will or our might, but about His, we would then truly become like little children in our faith, just as our participants already have, and we would know what it means to love as God loves, for we would truly Know God.
